Chapter 58 Night Talk
Seeing Ning Tao away, Li Yu turned his head and looked at Sean who was watching the whole time.
"It's strange why I did this?"
Sean looked at the small hotel that looked like a cage and said, "I didn't expect you to be honest and trustworthy, even when facing a person who is unforgivable."
Li Yu smiled and said, "Indeed, Ning Tao is unforgivable. With his actions on [Die 4399], it is enough to sentence ten death sentences and 200 years in prison. For such a scumbag, it doesn't matter if I occasionally betray the truth. The reputation of the [Silver Knights] is not earned by stubbornness."
Sean added: "And the survival foundation of the [Silver Knights] is in the abandoned area, and people here should not be happy to see you let go of a villain from the Qiankun Group."
Li Yu said in surprise: "I didn't expect that you had already had an essential understanding of the [Silver Knights] just shortly after joining. It's true that I can tear up the agreement regardless of the eyes of my peers, but I must consider the hearts of the abandoned area. And I believe that no matter how the polls are conducted, at least 90% of those who support Ning Tao's death penalty. But I still let him go, do you know why?"
Sean really couldn't understand Li Yu's logic.
"Because first, the polls can never fully reflect the truth. Indeed, 90% of the people here support Ning Tao's death penalty, but if I decide to let Ning Tao go, at least more than half of them will turn their positions on the spot and stand on my side. They will trust me more than trust themselves."
Li Yu's strong confidence when speaking left Sean speechless.
Perhaps in this abandoned area, Li Yu does have such appeal. Even if he refers to the Huts as the Kan Yuan chicken, people will support him without hesitation.
"Second, letting Ning Tao is more beneficial to us. Although killing him can please the people and can monopolize 23 million cash, letting him go can let people in the entire Qianxing system know that the [Silver Knights] can help those who want to escape from the sea of suffering."
Sean frowned when he heard this. What is the more beneficial? And what does it mean to be someone who wants to escape from the sea of suffering?! Ning Tao is so aggrieved!
Li Yu saw Sean's question and said, "The perpetrator may not be able to serve as the victim at the same time. Ning Tao is indeed unforgivable, but he is just a link in the long chain of persecution. Those born rich can drive him like a lackey, and this is because he has served as the director of the branch. Before that, he suffered a lot."
Sean couldn't help asking, "Are you exonerating him?"
"I just tell the truth." Li Yu said, "No corrupt and depraved organization can't help but hurt its own people. This is also the reason why most corrupt organizations eventually collapse - even insiders can't bear the damage of corruption and can't wait to overthrow it. There are countless people in the Qiankun Group with similar situations as Ning Tao. If you have the opportunity to give your old boss a backstab and escape, I believe many people will be moved. And the more people are moved, the closer this organization will be to the collapse."
Sean was silent for a while and said, "Your ambition is to overthrow the Qiankun Group?"
Li Yu laughed: "I'm sorry, I'm off topic. The correct statement is that the more people are moved, the more people come to me to do business. Compared with the short-term returns of 23 million and the incalculable long-term returns, I value the latter more. That's all."
Sean was very suspicious that Li Yu had not told the truth, or that it might be more important to overthrow Qiankun Group than the so-called long-term gains.
But obviously the other party doesn't want to develop this topic anymore.
"Okay, it's rare to complete a difficult task. Go back and rest. There are even more difficult tasks waiting for you."
——
That night.
Ning Tao in the small hotel couldn't sleep, his fat body twisted on the simple bed, constantly squeezing out the sharp creaking sound of the deformed bed board.
Although he carefully asked the hotel service staff to send a few sleeping pills in the evening, he didn't know whether the medical level in the abandoned area was too backward or his concerns were too heavy, until late at night, Ning Tao could not feel the arrival of sleepiness.
Only the dry eyes and the constant pressure from the heart made Ning Tao clearly realize that he was in a state of excessive mental fatigue and severe lack of sleep.
In this case, there will undoubtedly be great safety hazards when flying in a spacecraft... However, the premise is that he really has the opportunity to run in a spacecraft.
Ning Tao never believed that Li Yu would really let him go so simply. No matter from which angle, Ning Tao is now like a kanyuan slaughtering chicken on the slaughtering line. It’s a pity for this production line if he doesn’t cut his flesh and blood!
Under the erosion of fear, Ning Tao always closed his eyes and all kinds of shrill scenes appeared in his mind unconsciously: he saw innocent people running for desperate attempts in the vast wilderness driven by explosive guns; unarmed civilians were driven to fight against [Bhar Giant Scorpion]; the injured were tied to the test bench and tortured by highly toxic drugs...
These are all tragedies that once really happened on [Dui 4399], but in the picture in Ning Tao's mind, the victim's face was replaced by him!
Finally, after "witnessing" the scene of himself falling off the cliff and tragically dying, Ning Tao couldn't help but turn over and open his eyes.
He had completely given up falling asleep.
However, the moment he opened his eyes, Ning Tao felt a biting chill spread rapidly from the top of his head to his body.
There was a person standing in front of the bed.
After a moment of stagnation, Ning Tao finally had the response he should have fear. He wanted to shout, but found that his throat could no longer make a sound. He wanted to retreat, but his muscles were already soft and weak.
He could only lie in the bed, waiting for bad luck to come.
However, unexpectedly, the person in front of the bed did not kill him, but took two steps back and then took the initiative to illuminate the dim light at the head of the bed.
Then Ning Tao narrowed his eyes and saw the man's face clearly: he was a very familiar young face, a newcomer from the Ace Squad of [Silver].
"Shawn?" Ning Tao recalled.
"Good evening, Director Ning." Sean said in a cold tone, "I have a few questions to ask you."
Ning Tao was stunned for a moment before realizing that the other party was visiting late at night and was not here to kill him, so he nodded quickly: "Can you ask."
Sean said, "Do you know Xia Yan?"
Ning Tao was stunned again. How could he not know him? He was the general director of Qiankun Security and Ning Tao's immediate boss.
"So, do you know what conflicts he has with the Nan family?"
Ning Tao was stunned for a longer time this time because he had no idea what Sean was asking.
Sean didn't urge him, but just stood quietly in front of the bed, waiting for Ning Tao to answer the question.
At this time, the night was dark and there was still a lot of time for him. So, instead of impatiently asking for an untrue answer, it would be better to give Ning Tao a little more time to think clearly before answering.
Chapter completed!
